Yep. Tell the browser to go somewhere else, and the browser will make
a request for that new page. Since it's a new request, the form
variables don't travel with it.

You could instead copy the $_POST variables into the URL that you
redirect the browser to. But why not put it in a session? You don't
even need to copy each one by itself. For instance, on the page that
validates and redirects, why not just:
$_SESSION['formVars'] = $_POST;
